Insecurity Leaders?

Okay, I've just got my copy of the infosecleaders.com Career Survey. Now, you'd think that somebody emailing something like this out to a bunch of people who think they are, and may even be, information security 'leaders', would obey some basic principles of email security? Especially as it has been over a year since they set the survey up (as an aside, I don't remember completing it but don't really doubt that I did ...)

Anyway, one of these is that any links in the email should point to a URI in the domain of the sender - so (made up) www.infosecleaders.com/1stsurveyresults.pdf - for example. Instead we have, under the "Download the results here." link: http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/? and some php variables".

Fail. Seriously. If we can't get this sort of thing right then why would anybody bother listening?

Nothing You Wanted to Know

A classical liberal & modern libertarian, economically laissez faire, and a governmental minimalist. Somewhat surprised to find this puts me way to the right of Chingis Khan.
Really, really pissed off at the endemic stupidity of the British governing cliques. Sometimes lets his potty mouth get the better of him.
